This is a very rare 5 Speed Turbo, of which about only 350 were made in 1998 by Volvo. Ideally, a Volvo or car enthusiast will purchase it, as it is going to need some work to restore it to its glory days when it packed some serious power! I'm not a car guy, and do not have the time to put into it at this point of my life. I am the 3rd owner and I purchased it at 108,000 miles a little over 8 years ago. The Good: Timing belt, battery, tires, tie rods were all replaced last year. Major tune up completed last month. Front and rear brakes are both at 50%. Sunroof/moonroof works great. TRACS system was repaired last year. Passed DEQ emissions in June, so tags are good until June, 2017. I have been using either a synthetic blend or straight synthetic oil since I purchased it. The car always starts and never once has failed me or left me stranded; it is super reliable! Here are the issues that I am aware of: Cosmetic: Interior could use a good cleaning. The driver's leather seat has been cracked ever since I bought it. I haven't wanted to replace it because of the heated seats. The passenger side mirror needs repair. The power door lock on the driver side sometimes sticks. The rear right door lock does not work and must be opened manually. The trunk lever is jammed. One of the minor rear left taillights is out. Air conditioning works but needs a recharge. Check engine light is either on or flicking, as it is getting zero compression on valve 2. It's idling and running poorly and getting poor mileage as of about 250 miles ago. The turn signals start off working, but sometimes after driving for awhile get stuck and stay lit. This is probably just a short in the connection. Vehicle burns oil, and I add about a quart every 1000 miles. I understand that this is pretty common for a turbo as the mileage gets up there.
